[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Acceptance rate is low with a self-selective population of applicants. The base majority of high school graduates do not apply for a variety of reasons. You need a nomination to apply. You need to meet a certain threshold to pass the physical requirements. You need to pass a minimum in regards to GPA and test scores. Test scores are still required. College years are significantly different than at a civilian school. You are required to serve 5 years on Active Duty after Commissioning. Does that sound different than a regular college application? It is significantly different. That is what makes the kids who go to Service Academies exceptional. Most HS kids would not do it and many are not qualified, for any number of reasons. [/quote Yes most kids are not interested in the military lifestyle It's self-selective. The selection pool doesn't seem to be so exceptional with average SAT 1300. [/quote]
